Why I Wrote A Post-Collapse Constitution for the United States

Turns Out Skyrim and Kenshi Were More Useful Than Congress

I didn’t write this because I think collapse is inevitable. I wrote it because nobody else seemed to be preparing for what comes after and I didn’t want the first replacement on deck to be drafted by a billionaire, a chatbot, or a warlord.

I’ve been gaming since the early ’80s. Civilization, Populous, Ostriv, Minecolonies, Kenshi—anything that let me simulate how people organize, survive, and break under pressure. But I wasn’t just a gamer. I was a modder.

I poured thousands of hours into Skyrim, especially once the realism mods started stacking. I loved making the world feel closer to the real one with weather, fatigue, hunger, and consequences. At one point I had over a thousand mods running, including a brief stretch in VR until vertigo forced me to hang up the headset. I spent literal days just collecting butterflies.

But the real breakthrough came later, in Minecraft and Kenshi.

I ran a custom Minecraft server for 20 or so friends and family, hosted offsite because it needed 32GB of RAM just to keep up. I mashed together Millénaire, MineColonies, and a pile of economy mods to simulate local trade and limited resources. It was crude, but it let me test out small-scale economic variables.

Then came Kenshi and more mods than my computer wanted to run.

Kenshi let me model entire civilizations. Each faction had unique values, trade preferences, scarcity conditions, and behavioral logic. I could tweak how they fought, what they built, and who they’d starve instead of feeding. It wasn’t real, but it came close.

And while I was deep in one of those late-night play sessions—tuning scarcity triggers and watching my synthetic world fracture or stabilize—I had the lightbulb moment.

That’s where the four-tier currency model was born. Kenshi gave me the mental architecture to ask: What if money couldn’t be hoarded? What if base provisioning was guaranteed? What if capital had a decay rate? What if we firewalled international trade from domestic dignity?

The firewalled U.S. dollar model? That came from Kenshi.

From there, I did the hard part.

I took the U.S. Constitution and rebuilt it from the ground up, treating each clause as code. I added what it was missing: economic logic, media countercontrol, AI containment, collapse resistance. I ran psychological audits. I built in safeguards against human nature, but not in a way that tried to change it. This isn’t idealist theory. It’s grounded behavioral engineering.

Originally, I thought the Second Bill of Rights would be enough. But every simulation I ran ended in the same place: oligarchic capture. The system isn’t just tilted. It’s locked.

I had already written one book explaining why the levers of American democracy are fake. After that, I realized we weren’t just out of moves—we were in checkmate. Every fix was already rigged against regular people.

So I wrote something new.

This isn’t an ideology. It’s a failover system. A pressure-tested, loophole-limited, logistics-aware blueprint for what comes after empire. I wrote it because no one else did.

People always told me the U.S. system was the best in history. I believed that for a while. But then I realized—nobody ever really tried anything else.

If you're reading this, I would be flattered for you to be part of the field test. Try to break it. Read the clauses. Push the edge cases. If it holds up, share it. If it fails, tell me where.
Because the next system is coming, one way or another.
This one is meant to be built by people before it gets built for them.
